An MSX3 like this would have been awesome. Specially if released when originally planned: 1987 (according to the MSX-Magazine back then)
But the MSX2+ was a way too underpowered compromise. It should have had the minimum specs of 128KB of mainRAM, DOS2 and a 7.14MHz Z80.
The Amiga didn't last more than 2 years than the MSX, killing Commodore with it.
For the same reason that wiped all other (more powerful computers) of the same era:

The main reason was the rise of Windows3/95+cheap western PCs made in Taiwan/South Korea.
If you think about it, the FM-Towns and X68000 didn't last much longer. And even the then-ubiquitous NEC PC-9801 died in 1995, only two years after the MSX.
The PC-9821 was a hybrid winPC.

今日BEEP様にお邪魔したら流れていた店内BGM。
MSXが鳴っている風でとのオーダーをいただき制作した曲。
そして生まれたのはMSX実機でそのまま演奏出来る曲となっています。 xitter.cf/TadahiroNitta/status/1…
• The file selector lists only .SCR files
• Reads raw .SCR files with a separate palette file (.PAL) or an embedded palette. PKS compressed images are still supported.
• All scan ranges are now supported in modes 0 to 2: underscan, standard and overscan

Dual Picture Viewer (dPV) is a .SCR image viewer for the Amstrad CPC.
I've just released a loader/patcher that upgrades v0.5d to (unnoficial) v0.5e, with M4 interface (SDcard support) and many other enhancements.

El 3 de octubre daré una charla irrepetible con Toshinari Oka, programador del Metal Gear 2. Destriparemos el código del juego: os contaré cosas que he descubierto tras desensamblarlo y Oka-san nos dará el contexto real de la época.
Se agradece retweet

Thank you!
This reminded me of this awesome arrangement, made by K.Morita in the early 90s, of one of the Sorcerian songs for the MSX:

En el Metal Gear 2, cuando un soldado escucha un ruido se desplaza hasta el origen del sonido para investigar. Pero analizando el código desensamblado he descubierto que no se pueden mover hacia arriba debido a un fallo. #MetalGear #MSX
Isn't this the same as the Quick Disks that existed for the MSX?
